If you don't have the rank now you'll probably have enough credits by the time you do.
Credits are pretty easy to come by.
In general I just use coriolis to budget, then buy everything at whatever best discount I can get to cover a few rebuys.
Cutter is fun to fly but I'm considering getting a T-9 too.
I like variety.
:)

I mean, if you play Elite and only elite, I can see how you could get burned out. Like, I quit playing for about a month right before 1.0 launched.
But if you take breaks and play other games, you should be fine. I've been playing a healthy amount of assassin's creed origins in between engineering my ships.

Probably not. I suspect that the special effects of many weapons are OP (reverberating cascade torpedoes and mines, super penetrator rail guns, target lock break PAs etc) which give an aggressor the ability to kill your shield generator and FSD sooner than you can high wake out let alone fight on their terms. If your npc crew could use all of that, then maybe.

Got the Levono. Took THREE DAYS to get it to work, though. Not the fault of the machine but my computer - it just didn't like my built-in USB 3.0 ports so I had to buy another (only to end up getting them for the wrong PCI size slot and having to reorder :P )
Anyway, works now, works great! But dang that sweet spot is small and tricky to find at times.
Since I'm on kind of a borderline machine, I'm always looking to get the most out of what I have. So if anyone knows of a concise "best practices" list that's out there, let me know :D

agree with OP. Every single time im jumped by a wing its constantly 'target lock broken' almost as soon as you lock on - its crazy. Every 30 seconds maybe but constantly as fast as you can target? Only way to counter is to get outa dodge.

The BGS Black Box has had this problem with negative influence for a while now - especially around Murder.
The new C&P is supposed to mitigate it some in theory, as it should prevent cop-killing-sprees from being as easy to conduct.
Other than that, its a well documented and known fact that negative influence doesn't suffer the same relative cap of limitation as positive gains do.
So you can harm a faction significantly easier than help them.
All you can do is stack effort, and try your best for now.

In Open possibly, but a lot of people play in Mobius/Fleetcomm or other non combat group or in Private Groups / Solo.
It's only a small percentage of the ED community that would engage in such mayhem, even in Open. So I think you are catastrophising the event beyond what is reasonable.

The release date shouldn't be announced untill the servers go down for the actual update..
Reason?
The new crime system means everyone will have all their bounties/crimes wiped when 3.0 goes live. If the date is announced then the day before is gonna be like 'the purge' - complete mayhem ANYTHING GOES!! Madness & chaos. Murder Death Kill with no consequence's!!

Marshmallows, sugar cookies, salty salt mountain pink. Bro, you've got to braben your horizons...
This is the pun I never knew I was waiting forever to use, but then I used it and knew. I hope you appreciate it as much as I do.

I would have to be played by Hugh Laurie.
But Elite: The Movie... what would it be about? A bunch of people flying around, trying to make credits, or flying off into the void to take pictures of one beige planet after another... somehow... it just doesn't translate well.
And movies based on games that diverge wildly from the games they're based on... well, just ask Chris Roberts about all the Oscars he won for Wing Commander.
